Someone made a list of Letterbox’s top 250 best reviewed, narrative films. It has some problems but it’s definitely better than the IMDb 250. https://boxd.it/8HjM

The most interesting thing about this list to me is the inclusion of two fairly obscure Brazilian films (A Dog's Will and The Given Word), which makes me assume Letterboxd has a sizeable Latin American community.

It uses The Movie DB I believe as it’s data source, and I guess it includes limited series on there in some cases.

TMDB has ongoing series, too. But Letterboxed allows you to show TV movies, so maybe it was just miscategorized as one, or the lines have blurred between minis and TV movies and straight-to-stremaing flicks.

I thought Twin Peaks kept popping up and being taken down until it played as a marathon at Moma and then they felt it had cleared the film bar.

Yeah I don’t know where you draw the line with that. Big Little Lies is on Letterboxd too, and that is now in its second season and clearly A TV Show. So you could say, well each season is a separate miniseries. Which is tenuous given it’s a direct continuation of the narrative. But stuff like seasons of American Crime Story and True Detective aren’t on there.

also they list individual episodes of Black Mirror. It makes sense, they basically ARE stand alone films, but it's still technically a TV show

The more things the merrier to me, let everyone decide how they personally want to log things. I wouldn’t log Chernobyl or Black Mirror episodes personally but I can see why some people would.

They're all made with cameras. It's just semantics about mode of distribution.

The answer to this is they should just loving have TV shows up there.

I wouldn’t log Chernobyl or Black Mirror episodes personally but I can see why some people would. Honestly the line for me with miniseries is whether something's on a list of movies I'm going through - I haven't logged Twin Peaks: The Return, but when I was finishing Scott Tobias' New Cult Canon list I didn't hesitate to log The Kingdom and haven't hesitated to log Berlin Alexanderplatz or Dekalog since they're on the TSPDT list.

I do find the question of "What is a film?" interesting, and how resistant people are to muddying the TV/Cinema dichotomy. Casablanca -- 1h42m, made with 35mm film stock, distributed through cinemas: A film The Honeymooners -- 39 episodes produced over two years and distributed via television: Not a film The Crimson Ghost -- Republic film serial totaling 2h47m in 12 episodes released to cinemas in parts over the course of a year: A film The Twilight Zone -- Standalone short stories produced by networks and distributed as a television series: Not a film La Jetee -- A 20 minute short composed mostly of still images and screened in cinemas: A film Avengers: Endgame -- A digitally recorded 3h2m culmination of a 20+ part series distributed via cinemas: A film Twin Peaks: The Return -- 18hr series digitally recorded but broadcast over cable television in individual episodes: Not a film, until it was aired concurrently in cinemas in special screenings at which point it became a film Dekalog -- 10-part television mini-series written and directed by a respected auteur: A film Girls Just Want to Have Fun -- 3m music video: Not a film Mothlight -- 3m experimental short made without the use of a camera, only by gluing moth wings to a film strip: A film It (1990) -- 2-part miniseries aired on television but produced as a single 4h piece: A film, I guess Homestar Runner -- Internet released flash animation series: Not a film edit: I could keep going forever like this. We've discussed in this thread before something like Mystery Science Theater 3000 or stand up comedy specials. How do we address experimental filmmakers like James Benning who have created films that are effectively slideshows of still images? We consider early cinema like Edison and Lumiere shorts as films, but what about animated GIFs? What about that animated GIF that was the entirety of Terminator 2 in full at original framerate?

What about that animated GIF that was the entirety of Terminator 2 in full at original framerate? Probably. It's 2019 and even though billions of people stream movies on Netflix/YouTube et al. they never say things like "That's not a film. It's a H.264/MPEG-4 AVC file!"

Speaking of ascii, don’t ever forget there’s a telnet server that spits back Star Wars into your client. Was still up as of 2008 at least and the domain is still live, so I expect this still works. https://lifehacker.com/watch-star-wars-in-text-via-telnet-373571

Yea, it's a different situation. I've heard it said that one should not watch Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me because it's a prequel to the first series. And that watching it would be very confusing. If that's not true I'd be open to watching it.

And that watching it would be very confusing. Not only is that 100% true, it would also completely ruin the first season and a half of the series because you'd have the answer to the question of "who killed Laura Palmer?" right away. But not in a way that actually makes sense narrative wise. Maybe in a way that makes sense symbolically, but that's it. So don't do that, watch the show first.

If you log a film that hasn't had the cast added on TMDb, and someone later adds those details, do they get retroactively added to your stats page?

Yes, I think so. I've had actors hop on my stats page because of that even though I didn't watch more movies that had them.

I feel like I’m a bad reviewer because my most used rating by a wide margin is five stars. I’ve just watched and rewatched a lot of movies that I’ve loved over the last three years. 170 movies I’ve logged have been given between four and a half and five.
